Good Housekeeping Taste Test: Peanut Butter

Not many can resist this luscious spread: It's found in 90% of American pantries. We tasted 24 versions of this childhood favorite to see which creamy and crunchy varieties came out on top.

Cream-Nut Smooth Natural Peanut Butter

Several tasters mentioned that the big chunks of peanuts make Cream-Nut Smooth Natural Peanut Butter ($5.29 for 17 oz., amazon.com) more of a crunchy option. The thick, grainy consistency was a little off-putting, but one reviewer said it was a "good texture for spreading." While some felt it was a bit too bland, others said that it had an "earthy flavor" and that "you can really taste the nuttiness."
